English

Subject field(s)
  • Mineralogy
DEF

One of the six "crystal systems," characterized by a fourfold rotation or rotatory inversion axis, and in which the crystals are referred to three mutually perpendicular axes, the vertical one of which is of unequal length relative to the two horizontal axes.

English

Subject field(s)
  • Artificial Intelligence
  • Continuing Education
DEF

An information-processing or knowledge-communication system designed for educational purposes. One of the earliest taxonomies of such systems(Hartley and Sleeman 1973) distinguishes four classes : conventional CAI or prestructured systems(called AFO, ad hoc frame-oriented systems by Carbonell in 1970) ;generative systems programmed to generate simple tasks by piecing problems(intermediate between conventional and intelligent systems) ;adaptive systems(such as the INTEGRATION tutor, whose domain expertise can be modified or adapted to student needs and characteristics) ;and self-improving(evolutive, truly intelligent) systems able to improve their teaching strategies and refine their knowledge by evaluating their own performance(e. g. the QUADRATIC tutor) [According to source WAITS 1987]

CONT

Unlike the visions of how learning will be enhanced by computer-based instructors, whether tutors or microworlds, we have a very different view of the role of Logo.

CONT

Two ... aims may be identified in the application of artificial intelligence to education: first, to improve the quality of computer-based teaching systems, thus giving rise to intelligent tutoring systems; second, to provide suitable computational environments to support learning.

Record 4 1999-02-05

English

Subject field(s)
  • Artificial Intelligence
  • Continuing Education
DEF

An instructional system such as the Quadratic tutor, capable of refining its knowledge by evaluating its own performance and improving its domain knowledge and teaching strategies.

CONT

If the student’s approach leads to a better solution than the trace stored in the expert’s archive, the system adopts the student’s solution as its standard: hence the label of self-improving sometimes given this tutor.

CONT

Although it is not presented as a self-improving system, Self’s program contrasts with O’Shea’s in that the tutor has access to a formal learning model.

OBS

In Hartley and Sleeman taxonomy of instructional systems, a true ICAI system. Compare to prestructured system, generative system, and adaptive system.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Intelligence artificielle
  • Éducation permanente
DEF

Système EIAO capable d'acquérir, en cours d'utilisation, des informations généralisables à des situations ultérieures. Ces informations produisent une transformation irréversible de l'état initial du système, censée améliorer ses performances pédagogiques.

CONT

PROTO-TEG est un tutoriel évolutif : la connaissance qu'il a acquise a produit une transformation durable du tutoriel.

OBS

Il remplit une ou plusieurs des fonctions suivantes : enrichir le modèle du domaine avec des propositions de l'apprenant lorsqu'elles sont plus courtes que celles des concepteurs (module expert);analyser l'effet des activités proposées à l'élève et en tenir compte lors du choix des stratégies didactiques (modèle pédagogique); mettre à jour la représentation de l'état cognitif de l'apprenant en fonction de l'évolution (modèle de l'apprenant); acquérir des connaissances en vue d'optimiser le dialogue avec l'apprenant (module d'interface). Néologisme créé par P. Dillenbourg.
